Kensington to the Seals at Majestic Ma-jestic park yesterday afternoon. Jt was one of the most delightful functions func-tions the Seals had enjoyed since "Wednesday. Among the prominent guests entertained by the Saints were the following: The Messrs. Chick f Autrcy, Biff Schaller, Ping Bodie, Jerry Downs, Handsome Jack Dalton, Ducky Jones, Curley Brown, Louie Sepulveda, Buck Brooks and Spider Baum. After a pleasant hour spent in attending at-tending closely to their fancy work the Seals played the old-fashioned game of casino. They gave the Saints cards and spades, in spite of which liberality they won the game, 8 to 3. They could have given them big and little casino also. Hospitality Abused. After the entertainment the hosts called in a private detective and slipped him an earful of dreadful suspicion. They told.tho detective that the Seals had abused their hospitality, for, upon their departure, it had been found that about everything belonging to the Saints had' been abstracted, pilfered, swiped, stolen. The list of missing articles ar-ticles was unusually complete, including everything save, honor. This the Seals left, probably with design to take it away upon their next visit. The Seals, among other things, took twelve hits. In the collection were family heirlooms and other highly prized possessions. The loot included one handsome hand-painted home run, one old master in the shape of a triple and five priceless sculptures, statues of two-base two-base hits. y- The Saints are of the opinion that the burglarious Seals had confederates in the house. Circumstantial evidence points strongly to two servants, namely, Dutch Klawitter and Long Tom Hughes. t is currently reported that these two gave the Seals material assistance in getting away with the booty. Painful Ingratitude. Anyhow, it was no way to treat the Saints, who sought only to be hospitable ami kind and to make things pleasant for their guests. Mr Dutch Klawitter tried to pass a tally to the Seals in the first inning, fruit' his teammates caught him in tho act And refused to stand for it. In the third, however, Dutch succeeded in slipping slip-ping them four and thereafter 'Hushes surreptitiously added one now and then ' until they had eight. While Messrs. Klawitter and Hughes wnre eneaed in this nefarious trickery, Mr. Spider Baum cinched his girdle about him tightly and, except for a couple of home runs, had little difficulty in keeping keep-ing the Siilnls away from the plate. The Seals, in addition to getting away with all the hits they wanted to, also got into the base-stealing department and hooked three of the choicest specimens hanging there. In the sixth Riff Schaller stole home while Tom Hughes was winding wind-ing up grandfather's clock, and in the eighth Autrey and Downs pulled a double dou-ble steal. Seals Strike Out Ahead. Rllfht off at the start Autrey busted 'ftho bail for a triple, but. strange as it " may seem, he died at third, a double play helping the Saints out of the hole. In the second they got one. Dal ton walked and Orr muffed the throw on a force-out when Jones hit lo Brief. Brooks was hit with a pitched hall and the bases were full. Dalton scored on Baum's out. Tho third was a hammer festival and nelte:! the Seals four runs on five hits. The five hits were for a total of ten jp ' buses. Klawitter put three balls squarely 7- over the plate for Bodie and every one of them went over the fence. The first two were fouls, but the third was about as long a home-run drive as has been hit this season. Downs followed with a double dou-ble and scored on Dalton's single. Jones also singled and Hughes relieved Klawitter. Klawit-ter. The first ball Tom heaved to Drnoks went out for a two-sacker, Dalton and Jones scoring. The Peals got only one In tho fourth tin doubles by Autrey and Schaller. Bunny Knocks Homer. Salt Lake sneaked one In when Runny Brief knocked a homer in the locals' half of the fourth. The Seals got that back In tho sixth. Schaller was on third by reason of his second double and Bodie's out. Hughes began to wind up and Biff began to run. By the time Hughes had wound up and wound down again Schaller was as safe at t lie plate as he would have been in his own henhouse. Three bases on balls and a double steal were the principal accessories of the Seals' runs in the eighth. Autrey walked and advanced to third on outs by Sehaller and Bodie. Downs walked and he and Autrey put on the double steal. Hannah's throw was wide and Downs went on to third. Dalton walked and be and Down? tried the twin-steal thiiu,' again, hut this time Hannah, with the help of Orr, succeeded in breaking it up. Orr Also Homes.
